Insights
No single skill rules this role
The top skill (Linux) is only 54% of postings; demand spreads across Linux, C++, Python.
Do this: Position around a profile, not one tool. Show the recurring combination, not a single keyword.
This role is less remote than it feels
Only 3% of postings are fully remote. Hybrid is 27% and onsite 32%.
Do this: Plan your search around being reachable from a hub; treat fully-remote roles as a bonus, not the baseline.
The language bar is mostly unstated, that's leverage
74% of postings state no language requirement; only 8% explicitly require German.
Do this: Apply confidently in English where language is blank (it's a floor, not a ceiling). Add a German level only when it strengthens you.
